ed to explore some of the country sur
rounding the college that afternoon.
One of Edna Harper’s favorite pastimes
■was horseback riding, she had a splendid
saddler and seldom missed a chance for a
gallop when the weather would permit, un
less a ball-game or something of that sort
interfered. She was off for a gallop that
particular p. m. that Jerry was exploring
the new territory.
Edna had not gone more than a mile
when she came upon the lone ambulator;
she bowed a greeting and passed on, she
had not proceeded, far however, when in
some unaccountable way her pony stum
bled and the steed and rider alike were
hurled to the ground. Jerry was on the
spot in a jiffy and summarily picked the
girl up. Jerry held her at arms-length a
half-minute or so, and the pony got up and
began to graze upon the grass which bad
grown up at the side of the road.

BULLETIN BOARD.
“Ross” Walker says that Solomon said;
“Much study is a weariness to the flesh.”
Try it once, Ross.
Hines to Ingle in the library. “Do we
get the “Tar Heel?”
Ingle: “Yes.”
Hines: “Where is it?”
Ingle: “Oh, I guess it is stuck up around
here somewhere. ’ ’
Carson, coming out of the Math, room;
“All is vanity and vexation of spirit.”
“Dock” Hall says that the “hoboes”
had a convention in New York last year.
Wonder how he got bis information.
Professor Harper, addressing Profes
sor Lawrence: “Forsitan et liaec oliro
meminisse invahit.”
Professor Lawrence: “Sir?”
Rumor has it that a bunch of the boys
have a club know as * ‘ The Anti-calling
Bunch.” The charter members are proba
bly Messrs. E. L. Daughtry, Atkins, F. S.
Drake, D. C. Holt, R. T. Brett, S. S. My-
rick, F. 0. Edwards and John Boynes.
There is one Mr. W. V. Brown,
Who doesn’t believe the world turns
’round.
Simpson to Carson: “Carson, you re
mind me of the sun:
Carson: “Why? Because I cover so
much of the earth?”
Simpson: “No. Because you get so red
w'hen you’re about to set.”
One of the young ladies of the village
upon receiving a box of delicious candy
from her—I don’t know what she calls
him—directed to his address the following
note of thanks:
My dear Mr.
It will be impossible for me to express
to you on three brief sheets of note paper
my appreciation of the beautiful and de
licious box of candy which came to me
yesterday morning. It was a delightful
little surprise for me.
It seems to me that I must have met
you before somewhere, although I can’t
remember distinctly any of your features,
—Oh! I have it now; twas in Dreamland,
Isn’t is cute to dream like that, and since
I have the box of candy, I just love to
dream.
I am, yours confectionately.
Miss Pace’s Smiles.
When the morning tirst breaks,
Slie severs our morning dreams
Of laughing brooks and placid lakes,
Sheltered by the pale moon beams.
Ah, Luna! Smiler of the ages past,
Leader of the oldest god, old Chaos’s
son
Your championship is fading fast;
,A slender girl your fame has won.
Her smile breaks forth as the morning
dawn.
And brightens as the day comes on..
And whether the day be dark or bright.
It ne’er fades from morn till night.
When the night has won, from the burn
ing sun.
The earth and all of hers to keep;
Old napper takes his smiling girl.
And smilingly she falls to sleep.
Part II.
Miss Pace, 1 like the style
Of that pei-petual smile
Wliich some would revile,
But it’s not worth their while
To go even a mile.
For they can’t find if violet
Half So cute in profile
As that dainty, lingering smilett.
I’d go any day
A thousand miles to say
How much I like the way
You smile and smile. Say!
Won’t you please tell a
Story of the charming way
As radiant as the Autumn day.
“Confound it all,”
Said Old “Dock” Hall,
A lookin’ kind o’ meek.
It seems to me
They might suspend the rules—
Just once a week.
A letter sent
With good intent
Up to the “Faculty meeting.”
They hit old “Dock”
Just like a rock,
And sent to him
This gieeting:
Dear Dock: There’s nothing doing;
Be like you’ll have to wait
Until you’ve sobered up a bit,
You’ve been too “Gay” of late.
When days and nights shall interchange,
And men, stranger sciences seek.
And you'with others roam this range;
The rules ’ill be held np, ’bout once a
week.
When Professor Harper quits Latin,
And Dr. Newman quits teaching Greek,
When Dr. Wicker stops lambastin’
You to the girls can talk, once a week.
When Walker Ross, a home-run knocks.
And you shall yell till you cannot speak.
When the Dems. and the Reps, shall all
agree,
We’ll suspend the rules, once a week.
When Miss Wilson shall be married.
And shall call her music all a freak.
When the boys neglect the Post Office,
We’ll suspend the rules once a week.
When the bell shall ring on time.
When Dr. Watson’s shoes won’t squeak.
And there is no Saunders pop and pie.
We’ll take the tariff, once a week.
When R. T. Brett shall graduate,
And Billy My rick gets up soon,
When Coach Spoon gets big enough.
We’ll suspend them every Sunday after
noon.
—Money, time, and even lives are sac
rificed to accomplish that which will ben
efit humanity. This is especially noticed
in the development of the flying-machine.
Within one month, December, nine lives
were sacrificed.
